James,
Sorry I slipped a decimal point but 0.2% is still 49.81% short of a
majority!

Art's math needs some revision. There are about 600,000 hams in the
US. The US population is 300,000,000. Thus, 0.2% of the US population
are hams, not 0.02%.
Interestingly enough, this error is roughly the same as the ratio of
the height of an LEO to the height of an HEO.:^)= - Duffey
